Show SCIENCE Some people scoff at science; they sneer at the scientist as an individual of little consequence. Science is a seeker after truth, and a revelation of truth, therefore there-fore it has a right to live, thrive and prosper. One man thought of the earth as a flat object, with a jumping off (place, although al-though Voliva still claims that belief. Science . has shown us easier ways to do things, so that men's troubles were lessened. Science has given civilization the steamboat, the locomotive, the telephone, the radiophone, the telegraph, the automobile, and the aeroplane. Science produced pro-duced anti-toxins, sereums, etc., to combat disease. The tallow candle was welcome one time, but science gave us the electric light which proved superior. The ox-cart and the stage coach which transported many thousands thous-ands across the plains were alright al-right in their day but the parlor , car on a limited train was some improvement. The newspaper was once set up by hand and was printed, if people had patience pa-tience to wait, but the linotype and the cylinder press can now accomplish the same work in a few minutes. Best of all science sci-ence wants to put Truth into the hearts of men and that is the only foundation upon which to build. Science has built a better, a happier and a more comfortable comfort-able world. It is one of our best friends. |
